Answer:

Dr Bad debt expense 26,120

    Cr Allowance for uncollectible accounts 26,120

Explanation:

The allowance for uncollectible accounts represents the estimated amount of credit sales that the company doesn't expect to collect, i.e. bad debt. This account is a contra asset account that reduces the amount of accounts receivable, that is why it has a credit balance. It is not reported in the balance sheet, since only net accounts receivable is reported.

Bad debt expense is an expense account that must have a debit balance as any other expense account.

allowance for uncollectible accounts = $2,185 + $26,120 = $28,305

Answer: The appropriate entry is journalized as follows:

                                                         Debit ($)                                   Credit ($)

Bad debt expense                            26,120

Allowance for doubtful accounts                                                       26,120

<em>(Being entries to record additional bad expense provision)</em>

Explanation: Bad debt expense is an estimate of the amount of accounts receivable that is deemed uncollectible meanwhile allowance for doubtful accounts is a balance sheet allowance account for bad debt and is usually deducted from the accounts receivable to show the actual amount of accounts receivable that is recoverable.

The $26,120 above was arrived at as the difference between $28,305 and $2,185.

Answer:

Cost of units completed = $176,528

Workings are attached:

Explanation:

Equivalent unit of production

An equivalent unit of production is an expression of the amount of work done by a manufacturer on units of output that are partially completed at the end of an accounting period. Basically the fully completed units and the partially completed units are expressed in terms of fully completed units.

Equivalent units are used in the production cost reports for the producing departments of manufacturers using a process costing system. Cost accounting textbooks are likely to present the cost calculations per equivalent unit of production under two cost flow assumptions: weighted-average and FIFO.

Conversion costs

Conversion costs is a term used in cost accounting that represents the combination of direct labor costs and manufacturing overhead costs. In other words, conversion costs are a manufacturer's product or production costs other than the cost of a product's direct materials.

Expressed another way, conversion costs are the manufacturing or production costs necessary to convert raw materials into products.

The term conversion costs often appears in the calculation of the <u>cost of an</u> <u>equivalent unit in a process costing system.</u>

For the sake of this question, we will be determining the <u>equivalent units of production:</u>

  • Units completed and transferred subject to material and conversion costs
  • Units in the closing inventory subject to material and conversion costs
  • We will then calculate the cost per units with respect to material and conversion costs for the equivalent units.
  • These cost per units will enable us to determine the cost of items completed.

vichka [17]
Simplifying
(2a + 5)(3a + -4) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(5 + 2a)(3a + -4) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(5 + 2a)(-4 + 3a) = 0

Multiply (5 + 2a) * (-4 + 3a)
(5(-4 + 3a) + 2a * (-4 + 3a)) = 0
((-4 * 5 + 3a * 5) + 2a * (-4 + 3a)) = 0
((-20 + 15a) + 2a * (-4 + 3a)) = 0
(-20 + 15a + (-4 * 2a + 3a * 2a)) = 0
(-20 + 15a + (-8a + 6a2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 15a + -8a = 7a
(-20 + 7a + 6a2) = 0

Solving
-20 + 7a + 6a2 = 0

Solving for variable 'a'.

Factor a trinomial.
(-5 + -2a)(4 + -3a) = 0

Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(-5 + -2a)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-5 + -2a = 0

Solving
-5 + -2a = 0

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '5' to each side of the equation.
-5 + 5 + -2a = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0
0 + -2a = 0 + 5
-2a = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: 0 + 5 = 5
-2a = 5

Divide each side by '-2'.
a = -2.5

Simplifying
a = -2.5
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(4 + -3a)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
4 + -3a = 0

Solving
4 + -3a = 0

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + -3a = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + -3a = 0 + -4
-3a = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4
-3a = -4

Divide each side by '-3'.
a = 1.333333333

Simplifying
a = 1.333333333
Solution
a = {-2.5, 1.333333333}

leonid [27]

Answer:

Decrease by $1

Explanation:

Given:

Old data:

Q0 = 2,000 units

P0 = $20

Total revenue before change = 2,000 x $20 = $40,000

After change in Price.

Q1 = 2,100 units

P1 = $19

Total revenue After change = 2,100 x $19 = $39,900

Computation of Marginal Revenue:

Marginal Revenue = (P1 - P0) / (Q1 - Q0)

= ($39,900 - $40,000) / (2,100 - 2,000)

= -100 / 100

= $(-1)

Marginal revenue will decrease by $1
